Named among American Songwriter’s all-genre shortlist of “Artists to Watch” in 2023, Lauren Weintraub is one of Nashville’s buzziest newcomers. The Boston-bred spitfire recently released her debut EP, This Is Your Brain On Love (11/4 via Virgin Music) — already amassing 20.6M+ streams, this six-track confessional dives into every corner of a love story and serves as the perfect intro to Weintraub’s vulnerable lyricism, unapologetic demeanor and unmatched vocal prowess. With nearly half a million average monthly listeners on Spotify, alone, Weintraub was named a HITS Magazine “One to Watch” for 2022 and earned a nomination for “TikTok Songwriter of the Year” at the 2022 iHeartRadio Awards, igniting a loyal fanbase of more than 800k+ followers across social media. Tapping into everything from the raw and real comfort of Lori McKenna to the pop-driven, evocative nature of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, this Music City-based newcomer is poised to release more new music in the coming months.
